She was d 1st daughter of her parent n everyone calls her Anty, same name followed her 2 her husband home. Eventually, all her children grew up calling her Anty. So, I call my mum ANTY (Aunty)! Ur impression here does nt matter.

I call my mother, aunty. I grew up hearing people around her call her that, so it stuck. I tried, calling her mummy at age 13, but it sounded awkward in my ears, so i stopped, and continued calling her aunty, till this day. Strange sha!!!

I call her "Mummy" naturally (never "mum" ) . There are times when I may call her by her trad title "Lolo". My younger sisters frequently call her by her name " Daa Virgy" (in English, "Aunty Virgy" ).
